Chapter 49 Discussion of Cultural Differences between the North and the South

"On the fifth day of May, after the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, and hanging mugwort in every household."

Children sing nursery rhymes in the streets.

The smell of fresh mugwort covers the city.

On both sides of the canal, large and small merchants have set up stalls, placing all kinds of fun and delicious gadgets.

The toiling people all gave up their work and led their wives and children to drive the flower street.

Sometimes I buy a silver string bracelet, and sometimes I buy a string of rock sugar gourds.

Rao is a useless thing that is not willing to spend money on weekdays, and now he is happy to untie the money bag.

Adults and children all joined in this bustle, and the government and guards maintained order in an orderly manner, like a prosperous scene.

On the palace bridge, the royal family is shining with golden light.

Under the palace bridge, the dignitaries were peaceful.

Not far away, there are three rest pavilions for dragon boat rowers.

The three teams are preparing for the tournament.

Because Ye Liangxing was excited, he got up too early in the morning, ate breakfast too early, and was hungry before noon.

So he consciously peeled off the capital zongzi placed in front of him.

Zongye pulled down a little bite, stretched out his mouth and bit it, and his face changed.

"Ahh......h

Ye Liangxing suddenly felt that his mouth was muddled, and the sweet and greasy taste was almost sent away.

"The zongzi in the capital, how can it be sweet, there are even dates in it, can you eat this, this?"

Other children from Jiangnan also expressed their dissatisfaction with the sweet dumplings.

Ye Liangye rummaged left and right in the zongzi plate, and then took out a brown rope and handed it to Ye Liangxing.

"The five flowers hidden here, eat this instead."

Through Ye Liangye's guidance, Ye Liangxing picked two more brown rope zongzi and ate them into his stomach, only then did he suppress the greasy taste of the sweet zongzi.

Then there was a discussion of the cultural differences between the North and the South.

From the salty sweetness of soy milk, to the taste of Lantern Festival, to the number of catties and taels when buying vegetables......

Then it rose to everything that happened in the Anhe Building yesterday, expressing his unhappiness with the children of the capital.

It was another burst of cheering and cheering to boost the momentum of Jiangnan.

It was actually because of a sweet dumpling that the momentum of the entire Jiangnan dragon boat team members was pulled to the highest point.

If you win, you can catch it even more.

Compared with the liveliness of the Jiangnan team, the Song Jiajun side was silent.

Everyone has put on the same clothes, the same hair accessories, and the same password.

Said to sit, but no one got up.

Speaking of which, no one dares to sit.

The solemnity of the army made the little maids waiting on the side dare not say a word.

As for the team of children in the capital, there are many tricks.

There are not only zongzi and bean cakes to eat, but also all kinds of dim sum toys, wine and preserved fruits on the table.

Wear your own costumes.

On the robe is a peony nightshade embroidered with gold and silver thread, and on the body is a bag with a jade belt and a golden crown rich in floral fragrance.

A piece of skin that has not been tempered by wind and rain, and the whole body is fair and clean.

All of them are erect and thin, beautiful enough to make the passing female dolls blush and beat their hearts.

Counting nearly twenty handsome young men, it seems to have become a scenery in this pavilion, attracting many side eyes on the boats, on the river bank, and on the palace bridge.

"Who's that?"

On the palace bridge, a graceful woman sitting next to the prince of Jing'an, who was sitting next to the saint, suddenly opened her mouth and asked her father.

This is the only daughter of the prince of Jing'an, the lord of Huaming.

The prince of Jing'an was very old, a little old and dizzy, and looked in the direction pointed by the lord of Huaming, only knowing that it was the rest pavilion of the children of the capital, but he didn't know who Huaming was referring to.

The graceful and luxurious old woman who was still sitting behind the prince of Jing'an had a good look in her eyes, and said in one mouth: "That is the new champion nominated by today, Nalan Rongjin." ”

Lord Huaming looked over there, and his eyes were full of autumn colors.

"What, you're in love with it?"

"Ah, aunt, Hua Ming just asked casually, why did you say that."

Hua Ming's aunt is the current Queen Mother.

is also the younger sister of King Jing'an.

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the prince of Jing'an, although it is not her own sister, is better than her own sister.

Just because the Empress Dowager had a miserable life, she was abandoned by her parents when she was young, and it was Prince Jing'an's parents who adopted her, and Prince Jing'an treated her like a sister.

With this relationship, the Queen Mother always takes care of the Jing'an prince's family.

Now that Hua Ming has reached the age of marriage, Prince Jing'an and the Empress Dowager have to talk about it.

His Majesty intends to kiss and marry, and marry the lord of Huaming to the thirteenth prince Xuanyuan Yulong.

Hua Ming also had contact with Xuanyuan Yulong several times, and he couldn't find anything wrong with the other party, but he was always awkward and unwilling to go further.

However, the day before yesterday, when she was having dinner in Anhelou, she accidentally saw Nalan Rongjin walking downstairs...... I remember it at a glance.

He was dressed in an official robe, and he walked in a hurry, and an old man inadvertently bumped into him, and he didn't care about giving people a little silver taels and sent them to the hospital.

Among the children of the capital, Hua Ming has never seen anyone so sympathetic to the people.

Now he is standing in a group of children in the capital, his body is so clean that he does not have any accessories, and his face is even more outstanding, and the tranquility makes her a little distracted.

"Nalan Rongjin once had a marriage."

The Empress Dowager's words made Hua Ming slightly stunned, and a trace of disappointment immediately appeared on his face.

But then, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "But now that he has reconciled, there has never been a genuine lady in his house." ”

Hua Ming's face was immediately happy, and it was also this joy that made the Empress Dowager laugh.

"You, you......"

"Oh, auntie, you're going too far, making fun of me."

"Okay, okay, the mourning family knows what our Hua Ming means, Lord Jing'an, look at it."

Prince Jing'an watched the two of them playing, and said with a smile: "Listen to the orders of the Queen Mother." ”

This is this sentence, the empress dowager shouted in a high position, the emperor who was dressed in bright yellow and with the momentum of Xuanyuan.

"Emperor, you should have heard what you said just now, Hua Ming doesn't like that Xuanyuan Jade Dragon."

The emperor listened respectfully: "Erchen understands that the lord of Huaming should choose what he likes, and I also think that Zhuangyuanlang and Huaminglang are talented and beautiful. ”

Hua Ming's face was about to drip blood.

She just asked...... How is that......

But her eyes still unconsciously looked in the direction of Nalan Rongjin, with a straight placket and a talent...... It's really much stronger than the bells and whistles of the Thirteen Princes.

……

Wen Yin sat beside Wen Chengming and Ye Xiudi.

Ye Xiudi didn't sit here because the wives of several officials needed to be greeted.

Wen Yin's eyes were looking at her husband's side.

Song Chengyu led the team and waited solemnly.

During this period, she wanted to wave her hand several times, but Song Chengyu never looked at her.

Could it be that Song Chengyu was nervous about the game, so he didn't have time to look at her?

After she looked for Wen Chengming last night, it got dark, and she went straight back to the room.

I thought that Song Chengyu should come in from the roof at night.

But until midnight, I didn't see anyone.

Later, I heard that Song Chengyu took the army to Anhelou.

This morning, Wen Chengming told her that in the dragon boat race, Song Chengyu and Jiangnan's team would go all out, so she didn't have to worry.

It's just that Song Chengyu didn't even say hello to her early in the morning, so he came to the canal by himself.

Although she hadn't talked for a night, Wen Yin was always weird in her heart.

felt that Song Chengyu was angry with her......
